Surely Megatron is an important Victorian structure? I had heard that many cities were thinking of undergoing mass works to re-expose rivers to prevent flooding - which has been increasinging across the UK.

That's a poor quality masterplan right there. It says [NOT PART OF THIS PROJECT] on the Sheaf bit and nicely glosses over the level change / engineering issues and the fact that there'll be an 20/25m high retaining wall behind what is noted as "Exchange Studios"

I like this bit, "The extent of the surviving castle ruins is not fully known." - Knowing Sheffield council the whole castle is probably still down there. They like to build on top of stuff and forget about it.

Whether this will actually happen, who knows... but personally I think the idea of opening up any stretch of the river again is great. Would be a shame to see the 'Tron go (and I'm sure we'd have to arrange a massive wader-partay to give it a send-off!) but it could, in theory, help transform (no pun intended) the area.
